ol' Miners was to outline a peace nlnn
were fired on by sheriff's deputies sta-
tioned in the hall and tltree men were
shot. One was killed and another Is
believed to bo fatally wounded.
Most of the shots were fired Into
the air by the officers. The shooting
of the three men apparently took
most of the nerve out of the crowd
anil they quickly backed a distance of
two blocks from each side of the hall.
A hundred deputies with sawed off
shotguns are holding Miners Union
hall.
Sheriff I>riscoU shortly after the
firing tx-gun and after the crowd was
forced down the street appeared at
the entrance of the hall and announc-
ed ho wanted five hundred deputies.
No responses was made to the sher-
iff's appeal.
A battle was progressing at Miners
Union hall info tonight, Insurgent
miners firing from the tops of all
near buildings Into the hall. The
deputies were reserving their fire, but
occasionally a deputy rushed to a
window, fired and retreated to Inner
rooms.
Miners rushed for their weapons
■> and such arms as they could get.
There was much shouting for dyna-
mite among the crowd. The deputies,
It is said, fear dynamite has been
planted under the miners hall and
will alow no one to approach within
range of their guns.
Ernest Noy, traveling Inspector for
the Montana Demurrage Bureau, was
shot dead. He was a bystander. The
bullet passed through his neck.
J. H. Brune, aged 62, was shot
through the head and cannot live.

mii..rs hall to attend the meeting
when u bullet struck htm.
At the first firing, Moyer, Riley and
all the other officials fled from the
rear door of the miners hall, accord-
ing to an unconfirmed report, and
have left the city. It is said an auto-
mobile was in readiness at the door
In which the officials were whisked
away.
1'resident Moyer had asked Sheriff
Driscoll for protection and had been
assured by the sheriff that deputies
would be on hand to prevent any at-
tempt to break up the meeting.
Chas. Krumer of Ix>s Angeles, a
spectator, also was wounded but not
seriously.

of an unknown Mexican was found
by fishermen in the river near town.
A little later Joe Perez, a Mexican,
was found hanging In a tree 10 miles
west of tins city and a coroner's verdict
was suicide. Later yesterday evening
Earl Dykes, a young man of promi-
nent family aged 18 years, was acci-
dentally killed while fishing with

Dead at St. Louis

cording to a telegram received this
morning from St. Louis, Newton R.

Railways Liable For Millions,
Is Decision of Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, June 23.—Seven-
teen railway companies which con-
stitute transcontinental freight routes
are liable, under the deci jlon of the
United States supreme court In the so-
called inter-mountaln cases for mil-
lions In reparation on shipments
made since the Institution of the
cases. , . ,
The precise amount Involved In
claims already filed with the Inter-
state commerce commission approxi-
mates $12,000,000. One batch aggre-
gates more than $2,000,000. Scores
of cases, involving amounts ranging
from a few hundred dollars to hun-
dreds of thousands have been filed by
Individual shippers and by commer-
cial and shippers' organizations acting
for their members.
Since thq granting of about $2,000,-
000 to shippers In the "yellow pine
cases," the commission has been ex-
tremely chary In allowing reparation.
Nearly fifty per cent of the yellow
pine reparation was absorbed by court
expenditures and attorneys fee. Two
or three firms of lawyers are said to
have made fortunates from the yellow
pine reparation for doing little more
than filing the claims of their clients.
Their contracts called for a large per-
centage of the collected claims and In
some Instances they received^also lib-
eral allowances for expenses.
In those cases the commission fixed
the amount of reparation at sixty-
five per cent of the proved claims.
At the time It was pointed out that
the reparation went to the shippers
and their attorneys, none of the
money reaching the consumer, who
had been the real loser through the
Increased rate. „ ,

GIVEN GOLD MEDAL
SURGEON GENERAL'S SERVICE8
IN PANAMA ARE RECOGNIZED
BY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
ATLANTIC CITY, June 23 —Instal-
lation of Dr. Victor C. Vaughn of
Ann Arbor, Mich., as president and the
presentation of a gold medal to Sur-
geon-General Wm. C. Qorgas.ln recog-
nition of his services as officer In
charge of sanitation work in the Pan-
ama canal zone, featured the' initial
session of the sixty-fifth annual con-
vention of the American Medical as-
sociation here today.
Dr. Vaughn's address was replete
with citations from history which he
asserted proved that the civilizations
of ancient empires primarily suc-
cumbed to the ravages of plagues,
which the limited medical science of
the time was unable to cope with,
rather than from attacks by rival na-
tions. He declared medical science
had lengthened the average of human
life in the last century by fifteen
years and asserted that strict compli-
ance with known medical facts would
result in a like increase within 20
years.
Advocating a national leprosarium
before' the section of Dermatology, Dr.
W. C. Rucker of Washington declared
leprosy is increasing in the United
States.
"Hy reason of public fear," he said,
"a single case In a community pro-
duces economic loss and lepers are
subjected to almost Inhuman treat-
ment. Sufferers could be cared for
at a minimum cost and with greater
safety both to the public and to the
patient by the establishment of a cen-
tral leprosarium."
Dr. Tsadore Dyer of New Orleans
also spoke in favor of a national lep-
rosarium and added that "the oppor-
tunity for research in the bacteriolo-
rv, t jatment and cure of leprosy
should appeal to the national author-
ities even If the sanitary side has no
significance."

TO FIGHT RUM DEMON
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS TO
GO BEFORE U. S. CONGRESS,
Fourteenth International Convention
in Session at Chicago With 4,000
Delegates Present.
CHICAGO, June 23.—The four-
teenth International Sunday school
convention began here tonight with
four thousand delegates from the
four corners of the earth in attend-
ance. The main session was held at
Medlnah Temple with the president.
Win. N. Hartshorne of Boston, pre-
siding. Various churches throughout
the city housed important confer-
ences. The convention was preceded
by a meeting of the executive com-
mittee at which demands of the deli-
gates from Missouri were made that
th eeligibility or otherwise of the reor-
ganized church of Latter Day Saints
be settled. The question has been
largely discussed during the last six
years.
Fred A. Wells of Chicago, chairman
of the executive committee, was in-
structed to appoint the special com-
mittee of which it was said Appleton
H. Williams of West Upton, Mass.,
would be chairman.
At the temperance conference to-
night Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts of Wash-
ington, I). C., said:
"An opportunity for a courageous
declaration of independence will be
given congress on the sixth of July,
when the voto will be taken on an
amendment of the constitution pro-
hibiting the manufacture, sale, impor-
tation, exportation and transportation
of alcoholic liquors. Many congress-
men are trembling In anticipation rf
that vote. Men and women voters of
every party should hasten to assure
their congressmen and senators that
If they stand faithfully in this con-
gress against the saloon they will be
supported regardless of party when
they come up for re-election. It
would, in my opinion, be scarcely less
than a crime for even a third party
prohibitionist to vote this fall against
a democrat or a republican In con-
gress, who in the face of an aroused
national army of liquor dealers and
their friends, casts his vote in favor
of national prohibition.

WASHINGTON, June 23. — At-
tempts by German interests to outbid
the United States for rights to con-
struct an inter-oceanic canal across
Nicaragua were revealed today to the
senate foreign relations committee by
Nicaraguan Minister Charmorro.
The minister said Germans had
urged that the $.1!,000,000 offered by
the United States for canal rights and
other concessions was not enough.
Senor Chamorro's statement was re-
ceived with surprise and led to much
speculation among members of the
committee after he left the capltol.
i Some members understood him to
1 mean that Germany officially had ap-
proached the Nicaraguan government
ind the minister's difficulty in speak-
ing English prevented his statement
from being entirely clear.
Members of the committee who did
not believe Germany had made any
official suggestions to Nicaragua were
inclined to the opinion that represen-
tatives of German bankers were re-
sponsible for anything that had been
done or even that Nicaragua might
be averse to playing the American
game of bluff.
It was recalled tonight that no na-
tion could expect to build a canal
across Nicaragua to rival that at Pan-
ama without expending hundreds of
millions of dollars and the opinion
was expressed that Germany hardly
would be likely to engage in such an
enterprise. That private banking in-
stitutions, no matter how rich, should
seriously contemplate such an under-
taking when there is some question as
to whether the canal across Panama
ev«r will pay, was regarded as ex-
tremely doubtful.
Senor Chamorro was not specific
about the German offer but he tried
to make it plain that whoever made
It took pains to show Nicaragua that
the United States is to get much more
than she was entitled to for $3,000.-
000. He appeared before the commit-
tee particularly to speak of the po-
litical effect on Nicaragua provisions
of the treaty by which the United
States would assume a protectorate
o* pr the country and guarantee fair
elections there as in Cuba. His testi-
mony, members said, was interesting.
The minister was questioned at
sornt' length about the American ma- !
rines now in the republic. He ans- I
wered a direct ihouir.v by saying that I
no request had been made by him to j
fend the marines to Nicaragua sqme- '
time ago. He added, however, that j
he believed their presence might be |
desired bv the Nicaraguan president, |
Adolfo Diaz. The marines, he ex- j
plained, occupy the Nicaragua white |
house and that the American flag flies
there, but the president does not re-
side in that building. The marines
now guard the Nicaraguan railroad,
which is controlled by New York
banking institutions, he said.
According to Senor Chamorro. for-
mer American Minister Weitzel played
a part In the selection of Diaz as the
constitutional candidate and that
Weitzel at the time was secretary of
the Nicaraguan council of state which
selected Diaz for the presidency

Receives Heartiest Demonstration
Ever Accorded a Candidate For Of-
fice There—Introduced . ly Presi-
dent of Local Ferguson t lub, Who
Is a Life-Long Prohibitionist.
Insurance Fakers
Sentenced to Long
Terms for Fraud
CORPUS CI IR 1ST r. June 23 —To
James E. Ferguson, at least, the result
of the race for the office of chief ex-
ecutive of Texas is not in doubt.
Before an audience of 1S00 people
that packed the palm garden pavillion
to overflowing, Mr. Ferguson took oc-
casion ff*r the first time, he said, to
publicly thank his many friends
throughout the state by whose support
lie had been assured of the result of
the coming primary.
"With nothing more than their loy-
alty as Texas citizens, with nothing
more than their patriotism and love'
of country and the desire to see the
state reunited and the best interests
of all protected and nurtured, thous-
ands have flocked to my standard.
"This race that for so long has
seemed hanging over the abyss of
doubt is no longer clothed In darkness.
The result is no longer in doubt. It
Is not James E. Ferguson that has
turned the tide of coming victory
from one Thomas F. Ball, but rather
the things that he stands for those
things that the people have confi-
dence he will exert every effort in
making actualities. I wish to thank
my friends here and everywhere for
their undying efforts in my behalf.
"With but a single month remaining
before the close of the polls I shall
devote every day to clearing up such
doubts as may have arisen that James
E. Ferguson Is not working in behalf
of the people of Texas."
Even before Mr. Ferguson finished
his remarks the entire audience burst
forth In prolonged hand-clapping. In-
terspersed with cheers and stamping
of feet. Back in a corner a party of
Ferguson suporters tried to sing the
to the tun j of "Dolly Gray" a cam-
paign parody beginning, "Good Bye,
Ball, We Must Leave You," But they
were drowned out.
Following his speech of thanks to
his friends Mr. Ferguson made refu-
tatory remarks to the contention that
has arisen here that he was an enemy
to organized labor. He spoke of the
manner In which the report had
gained headway; how a Temple car-
penter had charged him what he had
believed an exorbitant price for the
building of a chicken coop and how
he had offered to compromise ("No,,
'mediate' is better," he added) the
matter with members of the carpent-
ers' union in Temple.
He read telegrams from the presi-
dent of all of the trades unions in
Temple stating "We the undersigned
officers and members of the several or-
ganized labor unions of Temple hav-
ing noticed the malicious and unjust
attack that is being made on you
charging that you are unfriendly to
organized labor take this method of
going on record as witnesses and,
tifying that Mr. Ferguson has al
been in sympathy with our orga
Hons and we commend him to our
friends and know that if Jie is eldbted
governor we will receive a square deal
in the securing of legislation beneficial
to working men and women of Texas."
After dinner the Corpus delegation
in eleven machines traveled to Robs-
town, 17 miles distant, where one
hundred citizens and farmers had
gathered to hear him speak. He went
particularly Into the tenant farmer
plank of his platform.
Returning to Corpus Christl he was
met at the station by a baud and a big
torch light parade of approximately
five hundred Ferguson supporters.
He was escorted to the palm garden,
an open air pavillion, where the
speaking took place.
San Patricio and Nueces counties
are both assured for Mr. Ferguson
and it is very likely that Kleburg
county will fall into line.
Mr. Ferguson, with newspaper men,
arrived In Corpus Christl this mrvrftrng
after a midnight ride from Blessing.
After speaking at Falacios the party
motored to Blessing, which was for-
merly named "God's Blessing," but
upon request of the postal authorities
the name was changed, and justly, ac-
cording to the tired and weary party
